Back in the really old days of MWO, I always wanted to start an IS/Clan unit. I was inspired by Pariah Devalis and Kreistrel's Nekkoryu unit that was a merger between House Kurita and Clan Nova Cat. But I was shy at the time during my days in House Steiner. So far, I wanted to take the concept of the Nekkyoru unit and transforming it into Clan Wolf(in Exile) and House Steiner version, as a part of the Arc-Royal Defense Cordon. I thought about calling them the Arc-Royal Pains as a play on "being a royal pain" but it didn't sound good. So eventually I backed out of that idea, but this was a revised concept I wanted to share.
So here is my backstory of what I wanted to do.
Arc-Royal Defense Guard: A Royal Pain
The Arc-Royal Defense Guards were made out of cooperation between Phalen Kell's Clan Wolf-In-Exile and Morgan's Kell Hounds after the Refusal War.They would serve as a national unit of the Arc-Royal Defense Cordon. The unit's intentions were to both defend against Clan Jade Falcon attack and the "Loyalist" forces of the LAAF. The Defense Guard also acted as a testing unit to better understand and use Clan equipment and technology for the Exiled Wolves and Kell Hounds. The typical Guard recruits consist of national citizens, disbanded or weakened mercenary commands, exiled wolf lower castemen, and clan bondsmen.
The colors of the Arc-Royal Defense Guards consist of brown or red with black to show their disfavor for Katherine Steiner-Davion and blue highlights to show their Steiner origin. The insignia consists of a black three-headed dog inside of a blue shield with a red border around it. The three-headed dog depicts each unit and who they originate from: a
Doberman is depicted on the left, representing the Kell Hounds Mercenary unit, the dog in the middle is a
Pitbull, representing Arc-Royal and on the right, represents a Wolf that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Clan Wolf logo, obviously representing the exiled wolves.
1st Arc-Royal Cluster:
The 1st Arc-Royal Cluster was made from lower castemen, wolf warriors, and captured clan bondsmen. They are responsible for helping protect Lyran worlds against Clan Jade Falcon and breaking the barriers of understanding and using Clan technology for the Kell Hounds. These warriors wear brown with black and blue accents. The Arc-Royal Cluster was a place for people to role play as Clan Wolf-in-Exile while under House Steiner.
1st Arc-Royal Regiment:
In need of more soldiers, Morgan Kell sought out many mercenary commands who were either disbanded or shattered. Even citizens of Arc-Royal waste no time in joining the Guards. In doing so he would form the 1st Arc-Royal Regiment. They are responsible for helping protect Lyran worlds against the "Loyalist" units of the LAAF. These soldiers wear red as a sign of respect to Morgan and his Kell Hounds, with black and blue accents. The Arc-Royal Regiment was a place for people to roleplay being a Kell Hound while under House Steiner.
